Last night I was getting the children ready for Sunday school, and they suddenly asked why the priest always censes before the Gospel, and not after. I had to explain it on my fingers at dinner, while the youngest was finishing his porridge. This morning they themselves reminded me not to forget to write down their questions.

I keep wondering how you guys do at work when we fast. I'm a canteen cook and sometimes it's hard for me not to taste the meat when I'm preparing the portions. Today, being the Sunday after Saint Philip, I will try to keep it tighter, but in the evening I will make beans and onions for me and the boy. What do you do on days like this?

The large wooden church with fine carvings looks very imposing. I got the picture yesterday afternoon.

The wooden church with the cross on its dome stands quietly in the snow. The sky is clear and blue, the trees around full of white dew.

Crkva od crvene cigle stoji mirno pod oblacima. Baš lijepo izgleda danas.

The white church with blue looks beautiful among the trees with yellow leaves. Autumn gives it a soft and quiet light.
